Diamond Open – Top 8 Decklists and Metagame Breakdown

The inaugural Paragon Open took place on Saturday with William Dyson taking the top spot with his WR Humans deck, scoring $50 in cash and a qualification straight to the Paragon Championship! If you missed the stream, we'll be putting some videos up online soon so you can catch up and watch (or re-watch) the action!

Here's William with his cheque and Top 8 Dragon token after taking out the Open on Saturday!

As well as having a load of fun running things, we were surprised by how varied the decks that players decided to bring along were. Here's a breakdown of the metagame.
